Ensuite Studio Cabin too small

We had an Ensuite Studio Cabin which was very tiny for two adults. There was no space to put our suitcase, and no hot plate or oven. The cabin was very noisy as it was situated next to the pool and basketball court. The cabin was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower pressure great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Choose a larger cabin for a more comfortable stay.

Not great

The lady who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. We only stayed for one night but the bins hadn’t been emptied from the previous guests and there was no air conditioning/fan running when we arrived so it wasn’t pleasant. The fridge was leaking water and destroyed quite a bit of food overnight. The air conditioner wouldn’t adjust so it was either freezing cold or boiling hot and the tv remote barely worked. When we were preparing to leave, we also found someone else’s shoes still in the cabin. There were also only three plates in the cupboard. The bed was comfortable and it is well located.

A good place to rest

The Irish beauty at check in makes the price of admission worth it alone. Could listen to her all day. Otherwise, good stay, right across from beach and walk. Quiet and comfortable.

This was our 2nd stay at Big 4 Tasman Parks, Rowes Bay in an En-suite Studio. The staff are always welcoming, the bed’s very comfy, the studio is extremely clean and the gardens in the park itself are beautifully kept. We love the location, across from the beach for a late afternoon or early morning walk. Will definitely stay next year when in Cairns again.

There was food left over in the freezer that appeared to have been in there for a very long time. It looks like it might have been chicken a very long time ago but was now white and partially frozen over by the freezer that was in major need of a defrost. The bed was like sleeping on concrete. the cutting board had left over food on one side
